We offer an Approved Domestic Abuse Training for Solicitors, which aims to introduce you to domestic abuse legislation in Scotland as well as good practice when working with people who have experienced domestic abuse.
The training consists of 2 modules and those who complete both will be included in our network of solicitors.
Being part of this network means your contact details will be added to a list available on our website for women seeking a solicitor for a domestic abuse-related case.
